Travel northwest spain with us!

Here is a short itinerary of our wine trip to Northwest Spain. If you can’t make the trip soon, open your 3 pack, bake some pork ribs, and experience NW Spain!

  • Fly from Madrid to A Coruna Airport in Northwest Spain. This will be the main transit hub of the area.

  • Car rental is really required as the region is pretty spread out and public transit can be hit or miss.

  • Drive to Ourense, about 2.5 hours from A Coruna and use it as a hub for the region.

 

Ourense Spain

Ribeira Sacra

The slate and granite soils and steep vineyards of Ribeira Sacra give the wines their unique flavors.
